Question

Using the property `a/b = (ak)/(bk)` , fill in the blanks substituting proper numbers in the following.
`9/14 = 4.5/(.......) = (........)/ 42 = (......) /3.5`

Answer 1

4.5 = 9 × 0.5, 42 = 14 × 3, 3.5 = 14 × 0.25
Now,
`9/14 = (9 xx 0.5)/(14 xx 0.5) = (9 xx 3)/(14 xx 3) = (9 xx 0.25) /(14 xx 0.25)`

⇒ `9/14 = 4.5/7 = 27/42 = 2.25/3.5`
